walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[username]

I wasn't able to listen to very much of the trial today and I missed T's Dad on the stand. I just heard that he said (without saying) that the cops are lying when they say he replied, no that's not his son's voice screaming for help. He went on to say that one of the cops who testified to that wasn't even in the room when he listened to the recording. Woooo

I don't know if the jury caught this (and I fault the prosecution for not pointing it out more but)....

Supposedly the lead detective asked T's dad if the voice on the tape was that of his son. He said T's dad, under his breath said "no". The other cop that was supposedly there (although Tracy Martin didn't see her) said she heard him say several words, i.e., "no that's not Trayvon". There was a contradiction in what they testified to but I'm not sure who caught that. One cop said he just said "no", the other said he specifically said "that's not Trayvon" or "that's not my son". Big difference IMO.

The prosecution tried to portray it as Tracy just saying "no" in denial that his son had died.

I don't know what the jury took away from that testimony.
